Description
This is the Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster HSS in a limited edition setup with a roasted maple neck and fretboard, Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker in the bridge, and Fender Custom Shop single coils in the neck and middle. If you're the kind of player who needs maximum tone flexibility but doesn't want to compromise on feel, this one checks all the right boxes. It's ideal for advanced players, session musicians, or anyone who demands a high-performance Strat that still holds true to its roots.
You're working with a select alder body, sculpted contours, and a roasted maple neck with a Modern "D" profile and compound 10"-14" radius-flat enough for lead work, but still comfortable for chords. The fretboard edges are rolled for comfort, and the satin finish on the neck keeps things feeling fast and natural. That pickup combo is what really sets this one apart though. The Custom Shop single coils deliver chime and articulation with tons of detail, and the Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker offers rich, vintage-style drive with just enough edge to cut through a mix. The S-1 switch on the volume control splits the humbucker, giving you true single-coil clarity when you need it.
This one stays in tune, feels rock solid, and is packed with modern features-locking tuners, 2-point tremolo with stainless saddles, and a contoured heel for upper fret access. We've had this limited version in-hand, and it delivers exactly what it promises: pro-level performance with top-tier tone. If you're after one Strat that can cover clean to heavy, and look good doing it, this one's built for the long haul.
